The Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike carries three changes from the last generation: seat stays dropped lower, the front end backed off some stiffness, and tire and mud clearance grew enough to shrug off a soaked, clogged course. Together, they add up to a bike that stays comfortable and keeps moving deep into a long, rough race day. It also holds a small aerodynamic edge over the previous Aspero, worth a bit less effort fighting the wind for hours at a stretch. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've had Rival AXS hold a shift through washboard chatter and loose, rocky sections without hesitation. Wireless shifting doesn't need a cable to keep working when the trail gets rough."Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive.
